I can’t live without these things—Fire-Ballz are my go-to fire starters, every single cook. They burn hot, clean, and hold flame for a solid 17 minutes. That’s not hype—that’s hardwood gospel.

Whether I’m firing up the offset, drum, or kettle, these little beasts get it going fast and keep it lit. No lighter fluid, no drama—just pure, reliable fire every time.

In the world of smoking, these are a must. If you’re still struggling with newspaper and prayers, it’s time to upgrade. Get yourself some Fire-Ballz and let the smoke rise.

When it comes to gear, I don’t mess around—and neither does Sabre Metalworks. These guys handcraft every piece in-house using high-quality materials that flat-out don’t fail. From smokers to pizza ovens to grilling accessories, if it’s got the Sabre stamp, it’s built to take the heat and then some.

Run by the same family behind Ammo, Sabre is all about function, fire, and fine craftsmanship. I don’t light a pit without their gear close by—it’s that serious.

If you’re looking for tools that go the distance and look good doing it, Sabre’s your crew.

These ain’t your average grill tongs—Shark Tongs are the apex predator of the pit. Built tough, grip strong, and designed to handle everything from ribs to full packer briskets without flinching.

Once you use 'em, there’s no going back. They clamp like a gator and move meat like a pro—no slip, no spin, just solid control with every grab. I don’t flip without 'em, and neither should you.

Crooked Que KC isn’t just a name—it’s a crooked smile after the first bite and a warning to anyone still playing it safe. Born in Kansas City and raised on smoke, fire, and bad decisions, we’re a food truck, a catering crew, sauce slingers, competition grinders, and certified line-crossers when it comes to flavor.

We don’t do safe.
We don’t do boring.
We do bold, loud, stupid-good BBQ that grabs you by the taste buds and refuses to apologize.

Our sauces don’t whisper—they shout. Every bite hits with that KC balance: sweet that pulls you in, heat that makes you sweat, tang that snaps back, and smoke that lingers like a good grudge. No shortcuts. No watered-down crowd-pleasers. Just full-send flavor built to win plates, trophies, and repeat customers.

Glaze it. Drag it. Dunk it. Let it get messy.
Crooked Que KC isn’t here to behave—it’s here to dominate…

And somehow, yeah—
it keeps winning.
